Agenda

The global postal network plays a vital role in facilitating trade, communication, and economic development. However, the increasing reliance on digital technologies and interconnectedness has exposed the postal sector to cyber threats that can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and undermine trust. This session will explore the potential role of a global Postal Sector Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (POST-ISAC) in strengthening the cybersecurity posture and cyber resilience of the postal, supply chain, and logistics sector worldwide.

Key Objectives:

•             Raise awareness of cyber threats facing the postal sector and their potential impact on developing countries.

•             Discuss the benefits of establishing a POST-ISAC to facilitate information sharing, threat intelligence, and collaborative responses.

•             Highlight the role of the UPU in promoting cybersecurity best practices and supporting the development of a POST-ISAC.

•             Explore the potential of the .POST Top Level Domain and the UPU .POST Cybersecurity Framework in enhancing trust and security within the digital postal ecosystem.

•             Identify the specific needs and challenges of developing countries, particularly SIDS, LDCs, LLDCs, and ACP countries, in strengthening their postal cybersecurity capabilities.
